Job Tracking - Week 10

Bigger fish are being fried this week than jobs. There's been a lot of discussion about the racial tensions flying around here. But there are some ideas that I feel good about the things that are being discussed (there'll be a post coming about this shortly, I think). That's taken up most of my free time, and fortunately, there's not been any pressing deadlines for applications.

But the bright side is that there have been some new job openings that I've found, so my goal to have 25 applications out is still a possibility.

Here's last week's totals. And the numbers for this week are as follows:

Total # of academic jobs applied for/# of jobs identified: 17/25
